EVENTS, OPPORTUNITIES OR INFORMATION
SUMMER MEAL PROGRAM - ALL CHILDREN ELIGIBLE - details below.
Maple Run is thrilled to introduce our complimentary summer meal program, a collaborative effort with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This remarkable initiative aims to provide nourishing meals to every child and teenager in our community, aged 18 and under, throughout the summer break when schools are closed.
Parents, guardians, and children can conveniently pick up free meal boxes at Saint Albans City School on Tuesdays. Each box contains meals for seven days, including breakfast and lunch. These meal boxes are available to all families with children under 18 in our community. We welcome everyone; no proof of eligibility is required, and no one will be turned away. All meals are intended to be consumed by children aged 18 and under.
If you are interested, please email us every Friday by noon if you plan on picking up a box. Please note that we cannot hold boxes for those who do not email in advance. For more information, feel free to reach out.
FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY
June 14th, 10:00 am
Mt. Calvary Cemetery
Team USA in conjunction with the VFW and American Legion will be co-hosting a flag retirement ceremony. We have numerous boxes of old flags that have been prepared by students for a proper retirement. This is a solemn and dignified event. Ceremonies to retire a flag can differ from each other. The short ceremony will include a few words shared by the veterans, pledge of allegiance, taps, and an honor guard with a three rifle volley. The rifles will be fired as a part of the ceremony. There will be a fire onsite to dispose of the flags. The ashes will be buried the following day.
Example of a ceremony - https://youtu.be/tdHXR0PYCuY
Flags needing to be retired can be dropped off at Team USA.
